AOD-9604

AOD-9604 is a synthetic analogue of the C-terminal 176-191 fragment of human growth hormone with an added N-terminal tyrosine residue. Preclinical work characterises it as acting on lipid metabolism through beta-3 adrenergic pathways without the receptor-mediated growth signalling attributed to the full-length hormone. For research purposes only. Not for human consumption. Not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.

Research Summary

AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminal fragment (amino acids 176-191) of human growth hormone, with an additional tyrosine residue at the N-terminus. This modified fragment has been investigated in preclinical research for its effects on lipid metabolism signaling pathways independent of the somatotropic (growth-promoting) actions associated with full-length growth hormone. In-vitro studies indicate that AOD-9604 may influence lipolytic signaling cascades and inhibit lipogenic enzyme activity in adipocyte cell culture models.

AOD-9604 has been studied in rodent models in relation to growth hormone fragment receptor pharmacology. Preclinical research has examined the peptide’s influence on beta-3 adrenergic receptor-mediated signaling and its observed effects on adipocyte differentiation pathways. Notably, studies in animal models have investigated AOD-9604 for its lack of observed effects on IGF-1 levels, blood glucose, or insulin sensitivity markers, distinguishing it from full-length GH in preclinical metabolic research.

Researchers have also investigated AOD-9604 for its effects on chondrocyte proliferation and proteoglycan synthesis in cartilage tissue models. The compound serves as a useful tool for studying GH fragment biology, adipocyte signaling, and the dissociation of lipolytic and somatotropic pathways in controlled research settings.
